Open Challenge (Unique name, huh?)

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

I don't like picking stages, so the burden falls upon the first challenger. Anyone can jump in at anytime, so the only restriction I am putting here, besides standard rules, is on healing; we get two moderate heals.

I'll be using Sesshomaru from "Inuyasha". Sesshomaru - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'll respond once I have at least one challenger.

Man. This topic was murdered.

[PK FIRE!]

As the sun slowly rose into the sky we are able to see a small strech of land come into view. For the most part this strech of land is dominated by a fairly large river and the ramshackle remains of and old sawmill. The rest of the area is a man made clearing in a forest.

Some rustling can be heard from within the old mill, moments later we See a tall thin man exit from the rotting doorframe the door itself long scince knocked from it's hinges. Once in the light we can get a better look at the temporary occupent of the old mill.

Standing at six feet seven inches with a thin frame suited more for long distence running then anything else is a man who appears to be fairly young. He has unkempts black hair with grey streaks, his eyes while human have an uncoomon red iris they hold a look of extream apithy and old age in them. even the clothing he wears looks tattered and worn.It consists of a long white trech coat over a dark blue shirt, olive drab pants and brown runners shoes. A black messenger bag is slung across his chest.

As The tall man streches from his nights sleep on the dust covered floor of the mill he stops and turns towrd the nort end of the clearing it appears that he has heard something. with an apithetic air he finishes his strech then reaches inside his bag, from withit it he draws out a fourty inch long braided burlap rope fashioned into a simpal shepherds sling.

With an ease that speaks of the act being second nature he slips the loop over the appropreate finger then discreatly slips a lead projectile into the crade like pouch of the sling. With a single overhead movment the tall man would be able fire fire his weapon.

"Well seeing as've you've seen fit to make yourself known I blevie introductions are in order here. I'm Lawrence Williams, a simpla wonder now would you please allow me the honor of knowing your name?" Will stated calmly thought it was clear that his gaurd was far from down.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Sesshomaru despised humans; especially those who meddled in his affairs. "Begone from here."

He noticed that the man seemed ready to fight if need be. A sign of disobedience. "Alright then. Your life ends today."

With a demonic speed, and equally unfathomable strength, he ripped from the earth a large tree; all the while never losing the uninterested, stoic expression he most often wore. Not that it took long; infact, it all occured in but a moment.

He flung the tree like a massive projectile at Will.

[PK FIRE!]

While his uppercrust oponet was uprooting a tree with a blazing fast snap of his arm he launched his shot at his attacker. He had no delusions of hitting this one so easly but it didn't matter. He rolled to the side avoiding the bulk of the tree that was tossed so causly at him, though he did take a few glancing blows from the longer branches.

While he was avoiding the tree Sesshomaru caught the lead round with his left hand. As he examined the nearly fist sized lead projectile he noticed some writing upon it. though it was writting in english so he couldn't read it. annoyed with the dissobeidence of this human he dropped the round and faced the relitivly unscathed human before him.

Will was soon on his feet once again. Another shot already loaded into the cradle and ready to fire. He noticed his opponet trying to puzzle out the taunt written upon the lead round. smirking to himself he once again addressed this strangly aggressive man ahead of him. "Now that wasn't very nice all I asked for was a name. Also as it seems that you can't read i enscribe all of my ammunition with the phraze 'For your health.' I hope you can apprecate the joke there."

His speech finished Will flung another round at Sesshomaru this one heading for the center of the mans ribcage. Right after he had fired his shot though he immeaditly dove to the side placing him near the bank of the river. Thus giving him easy accest to cover for when his foe next retailated.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Sesshomaru's ribs were hit, bruising and cracking, but not breaking anything. He let loose a few antagonistic words, "So that's what it feels like to be struck by a coward."

He pointed his sword, Tokijin, at Will and dashed into a thrust; Will scrambled. He withdrew his sword and used his Energy Whip, snapping it around Will's neck. "I will not chase you, vermin."

He then yanked Will to himself, and slashed his face with his Poison Claws; all done fluidly, he chucked him into the river.

"Wash away.."

[PK FIRE!]

At first Sesshomaru thought he had already killed his oponet with his rather quick and brutel attack for the he didn't surface from the water for quite some time. Just as the demon lord was turning to continu on his way he heard a loud gasp for air. Turning around he saw will slowly and methodicly rising to his feet on the other side of the river. Aside from the durn marks around his neck and the infected look scratches across his face Will didn't look too bad infact the impromtu swimming lesson only seemed to high-light how shabby he was.

Will's world was blurred horribly, he knew that had he the ability to die he'd be far worse off right now. Though the blurred vision and splitting headach he had would make things that much harder for him then they already were. Immortal or not he was still not much better then an averge human.

Yet, he could still hold his own for a while yet impaired as he was he held some advanteges that he doubted his oponet knew them all. so desiding to make the best of his situation he once again fished around out of his bag, loaded it into his sling and sent it flying at an incredible pace.

Sesshomaru was abit miffed that his oponet was more rezilant then he first thought. Though what he found most infurating was that this man so activly defied him! Casualy doging the prjectile aimed for the right side of his head be began to consider what his next move should be. after all he was opposing one who specilized in ranged combat. Though he took small comfurt in sevrel things, the first was that this human could only carry so much ammunition, next he was sure that his poison was limiting his capabilities his aim in particulare, and final that he wasn't anywhere near as cabible as the humans his fool of a little brother traveled with.

Will sucked in another deep breath as he saw the white blur that was his opponet doge his round. Granted he expected as much given the incredible speed that this one possesed. though he smirked to himself knowing that in more was then one the nature of this battle feild provided him with some very helpfull items.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Sesshomaru had already exaughsted a number of his techniques early on, and apparantly they had not finished the battle. Not only this, but he had been utilizing his great speed and strength for the duration of the match, bringing a feeling of light fatigue. On top of this, he had already been struck, teaching him that he must keep up his awesome level of evasion.

Sesshomaru couldn't help but notice that his enemy was fairing quite well, all things considered. However, his faith in his own abilities had obviously been shaken a bit from the conflict with Sesshomaru. Perhaps it was time to attempt a killing blow?

While concocting a strategy to get close to Will, inside his defenses, while not suffering any further damage, he was struck in his left knee. Though it made an uneasy cracking sound, surely inflicting considerable damage to the joints, he knew he was still mobile and able to stand. However, deciding to use this situation to his advantage, he feigned damage, going down on his injured knee. Will's constantly moving, and evading pace slowed by but a fraction to estimate just how much damage he had done. At that moment, Sesshomaru became a ball of energy, flying by and behind Will at a great speed, reappearing behind him. His teleportation was a very useful technique.

Will was about to attempt a 180 degree turn to face his enemy, but he knew he'd never make it. In a split second decision, he decided to thrust his elbow into Sesshomaru's injured ribcage. He struck him three times before being grabbed and lifted off the ground by his neck with Sesshomaru's left hand. Sesshomaru almost flinched, knowing a number of his ribs had been broken. Quickly, Sesshomaru extended his right hand and clawed fingers, and use them to knife, thrusting his hand through Will's right side. He then threw Will to the ground several yards away, and Will's weapon was dropped. Sesshomaru strolled away and toward the river and washed himself off briefly.

Sesshomaru thought his opponent was dead, being a mere human. But he did not know Will was immortal. He survived the attack, obviously, since he had thrown a giant nearby stone at Sesshomaru's head. Sesshomaru's heightened senses allowed him to hear the stone and dodge with ease.

He turned around to face his limply standing, bloody foe. Sesshomaru had sustained considerable damage as well. Though he had cleansed himself, he obviously had internal damage of some kind; his broken ribs likely severely damaged an internal organ, as blood was streaming down the corners of his mouth. He had labored breathing, and was straight out tired. But still confident that he was going to win, he stared down his opponent.

"Well, still alive are we? I'll give you one chance to run away." Sesshomaru smiled to himself, but didn't know why. He almost seemed to be enjoying himself.

[PK FIRE!]

Will was not fairing well, while he was sure that his opponet had taken his share of heavy damege as well he knew how grim his situation was. In addition to cutting deeply into his side that last attack had introduced more poison into his system. this lead to the situation he now found himself in. He could not see at all, his breathing was inhibeted as well, his every nerv was on fire, and most importantly his hearing was muffled as well.

The stone he had threw was just an act of despreation. though the action allowed him to vent some frustration and begin to get his thought in order. If he didn't want to be reduced to a comatose state to heals his injuries had had to act fast and beat his foe. Though only way to do that thought was to regain some use of his two main sences. so swollowing his pride he induced vomiting.

While not the most dignified act it did allow him to get rid of a fairly large amount of the toxin in his system. Though this came with the cost of even more blood loss it gor rid of the rining in his ears, and allowed him vision no matter how distored it was. walking forword shakely he was able to find his sling. He was able to pick it up and get the loop around his finger once again. However his slow methodical action cost him greatly as Sesshomaru struck him with that enrgy whip sevral times though he was once again sent to the ground he mad the most of his situation.

Sesshomaru approached the newly fallen human intent on dealing a final blow, however he got a surprize of his own as the human lashed out with his right hand using his sling as something of a makeshift whip cating his good leg with it then pulling. Normal this would have done nothing given that his left leg had been injured however he too was sent to the ground landing in an undignified heap. Will meanwhile was crawling forword to the river.

Thinking that his opponet was trying to wash out the poison Sesshomaru allowed him to reach his destination as he climbed to his feet. Just as the Lord of the western land hand gotten to his feet he heard a splash. Turrning to fully face the river he saw will standing in the shallow water holding a rusting and blunt ax, the handle was rotted from being in the water so long as well.

Will smiled to himself he then swung his weapon causing the ax blade to come flying off it's haft at the white blob that was his opponet. Once again he missed his target however durring the time that Sesshomaru was buisy dealing with the large projectile Will was able to load and fire one of his few remaining lead rounds. While he wasn't able to hit his opponet's shoulder like he wished he was able to strike a few fingers on his left hand. Seeing that his plan had worked somewhat he grinned. However all of his quick moving had really got his heart pumping, combine that with his constent blood loss, the large amount of poison still in his system and the pain he was in he wasn't able to stand on his own. so he fell to his hands and knees his head only a foot above the water as he whatched his far more rezillant enemy draw near. Even as bad as his vision was at the moment Will could tell that the last of his foe's mercy had been used up.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Sesshomaru was drawing closer to Will, taking his time in order to snap his fingers back into place. Of course, this didn't mean that they were alright, just that later they would heal normally. At this point, use of his left hand, at least for grabbing and such thing requiring use of his fingers was out of the question, as all four of his fingers had been damaged.

Though the water wasn't especially deep, Sesshomaru didn't trust getting next to the human. Instead, he utilized his Staff of Two Heads from several yards away. The staff had two odd-looking heads, one of which just spat a continuous stream of fire at Will. It kept going for a while, and Sesshomaru was very curious what Will would look like now.

[PK FIRE!]

Affter the first few second of being caught in the flames Will simpaly fell to the bed of the river. this allowed him to douces the fire he was covered in, it also soothed the pain of his new burn ingeries some. Once the flames went out he continued to lay on the river bed for some time hoping that once again his foe would turn his back.

As the seconds streched into minutes his task became that much more difficult. however after nearly 2 and 1/2 long minutes his opponet let his attention drift elsewhere for a breif moment. This was all Will needed, he sprang from the water and using his sling as an improvised whip knocked the staff from his foe's hands. as the trajectory of his jump contrinued he crashed into Sesshomaru, pinning the demon lord to the ground near the riverbed.

As the two engaged in close combat Will's lack of skill in the area was soon made that much more clear as while he was able to land a hit now and then, he also took far more blows then he gave, mostly because he lacked skill in close range combat, however his oponet not only excelled in that area he was also much stronger phsycialy.

Will knew that his body was failing him and that soon he would pass out however he felt that if things went his way he could probly get in a good parting shot in. As he focused on what his foe would do next and how to best counter it he idely noted that his vision had finaly cleared up.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Sesshomaru became a ball of energy again, zipping a few feet away from Will. He reappeared with his sword, Tokijin, once again in hand. He jumped high into the air, coming down at his target, slashing verically. Will rolled to the side, and Sesshomaru followed with a series of diagonal slashes and thrusts, all missing their mark.

Sesshomaru was not about to abandon using his sword this close to Will. He performed the longest and fastest thrust he could, barely slicing Will's clothes. But the dashing thrust became a tackle, as he now pinned Will. He intended to at least disable the Will's powerful arms. At the angle he was at, with Will struggling, wet and slippery, he could hardly hit his mark. But he did. The sword went deep through Will's right shoulder. Sesshomaru recieved a fearsome uppercut from Will in retaliation. Sesshomaru performed a backflip off of Will, landing on both of his knees, supporting himself with his blood covered sword, stuck in the ground. He coughed up a tooth which was knocked out from the strike earlier, along with some blood.

[PK FIRE!]

will was fading fast and he knew it wouldn't be long before he passed out. However he fully intended to get atleast one more solid hit on his oponet. So after taking a deep breath he slid his messenger bag off his sholder and gripped the strap tightly in his left hand. Then he did something that surprized his foe and would allow him to get the nessisary momentom for the attack, he began to spin in place the items inside the bag colliding with each other now and then. After a few rapid rotations he let go of his bag at just the right second causing it to hurttle at Sesshomaru it struck the still recovering demon lord in his abused ribs probly breaking the few that were not already causing him pain.

As an unintended side affect of his on the spot hammer throw will made himself rather dizzy and even more unsteady on his feet then he was before this point. Directly affter he released his fairly heavy bag he continued his rotation as he fell to the ground spraining an ankle along with further aggrovating his back when he landed upon it.

Gasping deeply he starred at his foe who stood over him looking as dissintrested as he had throughout the whole fight. Though he could tell that the encounter had taken it's toll on the noble he seemed to be recovering faster and was therefore able to keep the upper hand through the affair. sucking in a deep breath will addressed the demon lord. " You, win." Was all he was able to say before he blacked out his body already begining to work on healing itself.

Sesshomaru simpaly nodded and began to slowly leave the clearing once again heading to his unknown destination.

[Mallow-teh-Marshmellow]

I'm guessing I can join now?

Jason

Age: 15

Clothes: A blood-red hoodie, pitch-black sweat pants.

Appearance: A 15-year old guy, Jason is slightly taller than everyone he knows. He has his hood on most of the time, which sparks suspicion in all who see or meet him. His eyes are a piercing ice-blue, that usually scare the crap out of everyone whenever he glares at people who annoy him. His black hair is usually short, and is naturally spiky.

Weapons: Metal poison-tipped claws attached to his hands that can shoot razor-sharp chains out of a hole near the bottom.

Most Devastating Attack: Jason is engulfed in shadows, turning him into a shadowy creature capable of creating fear into anyone he touches.

Alias: Hood

History: About 10 years ago, when Jason was 5-years old, an evil gang dubbed, "The Axe Gang", busted into his house at midnight. Jason's parents were the best fighters on the street, and were known to never back down from a fight, even if they may die. Jason was hidden behind a bush outside his house, while The Axe Gang viciously slaughtered his family. Screams of pain from his parents were heard throughout the neighborhood, yet no one came to help. Jason was forced to hear every scream, every cry for mercy. After what seemed for hours, the Axe Gang found Jason, cowering in his bush. The gang raised their axes, ready to kill the kid. Suddenly, Jason began being engulfed in shadows, and his height was increased 3 times more. The gang fled, except for the fool who wouldn't back down. As the member threw his axe at Jason with no avail, the creature ripped the idiot's heart out, MK style. The members watching the scene were absolutely terrified. 10 years later, Jason fashioned metal claws and burned them into his hands, then dipped them in deadly poison. Jason had enough of the Axe Gang.10 years after the incident, they came back, killing anyone Jason ever knew, or loved. He then decided to make a name for himself, and donned his now-famous blood-red hoodie, and black sweat pants. He was no longer an innocent boy. He was no longer Jason. He was Hood.

Alignment: Neutral; works on own terms, but will help anyone who is close to him.

I'll post again later, if this thread is continuing.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

OoC: Thanks PK! Good fight.

And, yeah, we can go at it too if you want, MtM. I'll be utilizing the same character, so feel free to just jump him on his way out of the clearing or something. Or if you want a fresh battle against him, I can have him heal, or I can even pick a new character altogether if you'd like that.

[Mallow-teh-Marshmellow]

Aight.


Jason had been hiding in Will's shadow through out the battle; not an exactly smart move. While he was not completely injured, he was quite tired now. Coming back into full form, he saw Sesshomaru walking away from the field. If I took him on now, I'd be distroied..., Jason reasoned, But I've been itching for a fight... He stayed silent,and followed Sesshomaru's footsteps stepping quitely as he learned to do after years of assasinating Axe Gang members. Suddenly, Sesshomaru turned around and looked at Jason with such hatred that Jason could of reached out and touched it. "You're a demon, aren't you", Jason said, not feeling quite as confident as he looked. "This could be fun..."

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Sesshomaru had gathered his weapons and composure just before the appearance of the stange being.

"Interesting." Sesshomaru held Tokijin at his side, waiting to be attacked. After a moment of silence, without activity, Sesshomaru was about to turn away to continue his journey. Then the strange individual moved somehow, and Sesshomaru acted quickly, utilizing his Staff of Two Heads, covering his new foe and the immediate area of him in flame. Not being satisfied, he sent his Energy Whip into the target area, whipping violently, likely striking a number of times.
